Depends on the failure of the sensor... Typically the fans will default on all the time if the temp sensor is throwing a code.

I must say that I've NEVER seen a bad two wire temp sensor that ACTUALLY caused an overheating condition.
And I've seen alot of weird things....


I've seen flaming 2X4s fly over my hood at speed,
and the inside of a barrel or two,
I've seen;
Jay sober, and YT , "on the cups,"



I've seen good women go bad,
and bad women go good...
I've seen things that are just not of this earth at this time...



I see its past my bedtime.

Re: Overheating

Afterall it looks like its not the thermostat, but its the broken pipe on the radiator that the inlet hose attaches to and the coolant is spewing out from there and when I give it gas the temps raises and when I idle the temps drop down to normal. So as soon as I get home, I opened the hood and saw coolant vapors spewing out. Is there any fix to this or should I replace the radiator.

thanks

Re: Overheating

New Radiators are realatively inexpensive and readily available, should have a spare too! Add an external trans. cooler. The stock cooler in the Radiator is good for warm up and that's about all.

I did notice that new ones are inexpensive, but there are huge seleciton of aftermarket replacements at wide range of prices and I am not sure which ones are good and stock one is like ~$400 which is ~4x the price of the cheap one. I do have trans cooler installed a few years back, thanks for pointing it though, it helps for someone going through the thread.
